THE COMMISSIONERS MEET.

On Thursday all of the interstate com
merce commissioners had arrived In the
city. Mr.. Bragg, the last one to arrive,
came in on an early morning train.
They all met at the white house and
were introduced to each other by the
president. They were besieged during
the day by numerous correspondents, all
of whom utterly failed to get any ex-
pressions from either of them. At 3
o'clock they called on the secretary of the
interior, before whom they took the oath
of office and received their commissions
From thence they repaired to rooms pre-
Dared for them on F street, where for
some time to come they are to perform
the duties of official railroad regulators.
Judge Cooley was made chairman of the
commission. Further organization will
be perfected at once, but nothing will be
done before April 5th at which time the
law goes into effect.
There are no five men in these United
States who are attracting the attention
of so many people This little body of
men is to hold in its control thousands of
millions of property and the rights of
sixty million people.
THE NEW DOCKS.
Secretary Whitney has approved the
report of the board appointed to select
sites for the two new dry docks author
lied by the last congress The docks
will be located at the New York and
Norfolk navy yards, and will be built by
contract on the general plan of the Simp-
son dry docks. They viii be constructed
of timber, and the dimensions will be
about as follows: Length, ass feet;
width, at top, 125 feet; and the width at
the bottom 60 feet. The amount of
money available for their construction is
81, 100, 600 The New York dock will
COST more than the dock at Norfolk,
owing to the difficulty of obtaining a
good foundation. A good foundation of
the blue clay and gravel can be obtained
at Norfolk at depth of 80 feet, while at
New York innumerable quick sands and
springs are found at a similar depth, ne
cessitating heavy piling to obtain foun-
dation capable Of supporting a vessel of
5000 to 10000 tons in weight. The
exact location in the yards of the two
docks cannot be determined, but borings
will be made within a short time to as.
certain the nature of the foundation.

EVIDENTLY A CRANK.
Man Creates Sensation In Chattanooga,
Tenn.

Tenn.
A genuine sensation was created in
Chattanooga Friday by the arrest of
man who gave his name as Doyle Doyle
took supper at Restaurant in the city
Thursday night, and refused to pay the
proprietor, and was in consequence ares
sted. In submitting to the arrest he took
occasion to lavish epithets on the propri-
etor OF the restaurant, and another war
rant Tor profanity was secured. He was
TAKEN before city magistrate and com
mltted to the county Jail in default of
5000, and remained in cell all night. Fri
10 pay the cost of the arrest
and the restaurant man the warrant was
withdrawn. After this was done, he
having in the meantime taken on a good
supply Of whiskey showed to the as
founded officers and bystanders rolls OF
greenbacks that were bestowed in various
parts of his person, amounting in all to
ASl9,0 This at once excited surprise,
and 1t was at once set down by the Off
Gals that Doyle was one of the notorious
express robbers about which so much has
recently been said. Deputy United States
Marshal Hill telegraphed the mans de-
ScriptiOn at once to various places in
hopes of identifying the man but received
no answer Doyle, as soon as he got free,
Sleft on the first train for parts unknown.
He was evidently. ''off" in some way, and
he officials think they have caught 1t

THE NEW SECRETARY AND ASSISTANT.

THE NEW SECRETARY AND ASSISTANT.
The president signed the commissions
of Charles s. Fairchild as secretary of
the treasury, and Isaac H. Maynard as
assistant secretary of the treasury Friday.
Mr.. Fairchild at once entered upon the
discharge of his new duties. The officers
and many clerks of the department waited
on him early and extended their congrat-
ulatiOns. The crowd became so great
that he was compelled to abandon, for a
time, all ideas of attending to the cur
rent work claiming his attention. He
caused temporary halt by announcing
that he would receive his official friends
informally in the afternoon after he had
disposed of his mail. He received a
profusion of flowers and congratulatory
letters and kilograms from all parts of the
country. A majority of the kilograms
were from bankers and business men.
Judge Maynard in accepting his new
Office will suffer a loss of S., 900 year in
salary. He makes the change at the
personal solicitation of the president and
Secretary Fairchild, with the latter of
whom he enjoys the closest personal re-
lations.

LOUISVILLE, KY, June Z4.-United d
States Marshal Gross returned from
Taylor county, KY, today, where he
went 10 take initiatory steps to collect
taxes for payment Of the county rail-
road bonds OF the Cumberland and
Ohio railroad, in accordance with
judgments issued by Judge Howell e.
Jackson, at the recent term of the
United States Circuit Court. He re-
ports citizens Of the county In very bad
temper, and determined not to pay
the taxes. The threat was made that
the mandate of the court could only
be executed at loss of many lives.
Marshall Gross is determined to exc.
cute the judgments and collect the
taxes, even il he has to call
for United States troops to
aid him in asserting his au-
thorlty. He returned to this
city this evening to consult with the
United States District Attorney, leay.
ing deputy on the ground. There
is great excitement at Campbellsvile,
the county seat Of Taylor County. The
amount OF taxes involved is $1S,O 600 in
this particular case, though the
amount due the bondholders from
other counties amount TO about $780,

quarrels with his vile, to whom he
was married six months ago to-
day. Doll found q letter written
by another man to his wife, in which

Shot and Killed while Leaving a
Patients House.
New YoBK, June 24.-Dr. E. H.
Duggsn, one of the wealthiest and
best known physiclans OF Williams
burg North Blooklyn), was deliber-
ately shot and killed az 2 o'clock this
afternoon by George Weidler, Of Will
iamsburg, as he (the doctor) was leav
ing patients house in Williamsburg
The murderer sauntersd up the
house while the Doctor was inside
and asked the Doctors coachman how
soon his master would come out. The
coachmsn told him he would be out
in five minutes, and advised him to
wait. Weidler did so and chatted
with the coachman until DR.. Duggsn
came out. As he stepped upon the
sidewalk Weidler walked up to him
and the two men conversed in low
tones for few moments. The MUIR
derer then coolly drew a five barrelled
revoiver, and, taking aim at the
Doctors head, fred. The Doctor
threw up his hands and startled
to run, but Weidler fred two more
shots and he fell dead in the street.
Weidler made no attempt to escape
and quietly submitted to arrest at the
hands OF a police sergeant who hap
pened to be passing. He was taken
to the police station and on being
searched was found to have $l3O in
bills, and large number of Havana
and two Louisiana lottery tickets on
his person. A stub-bo with the
record OF numerous ticket sales was
also found in his pockets, and despite
his claim that he is paper box maker,
1t appears that he is O lottery agen.,
He is twenty-five years old and is mar
ried. He seems perfectly rational and
calm, and will make no statement OF
his reasons for the murder ether than
'the affair is simply family matter;
it will be explained in due time"
The murdered physician is reported
to be worth $500, 600 or more and had
a large practice. He leaves a wife, two
sons and daughter, the latter being
the wife of Chicago insurance agent
named Maletti.
A number of people witnessed the
shooting, but no one can advance any
theory regarding dts cause. 1t was
evidently premeditsted murder.
And this fact, coupled with Weidler's
peculiar actions and remarks, has
given rise TO the mention of the prison
ers sistef's name in connection with
he affair.
